Chapter 6
Zachary's naive yet blunt words pierced my heart like a needle.
In his moment of illness and vulnerability, he was still thinking of the woman who had caused him to become sick.
I looked down at him.
He was clearly exhausted after his stomachache, as he had fallen asleep again after saying that.
Steven must have heard Zachary's words, too. He took my hand. "Honey."
I felt no inclination to respond. I instinctively wanted to pull away.
However, Steven tightened his grip, not allowing me to withdraw. "Today was just an accident. Mom acted without consulting us, and Zachary was sick. He didn't mean what he said."
"I can understand him," I replied, holding Zachary as I started to walk toward the exit. "He likes Jessica now. Of course, he's going to think she's wonderful."
After a pause, I continued, "Since I banned him from contacting her, his resistance will be strong at first. But Zachary isn't a bad kid. I'll guide him back to understanding who truly cares for him. "But I hope you can keep your word. I can overlook today's incident as a mistake, but I don't want there to be a next time."
As I spoke, I stopped.
Fearing I would tire myself, Steven took Zachary from my arms. "I promise that I'll do better, honey."
I looked at the sleeping child in Steven's arms and fell silent.

Steven parked the car when we arrived home. Seeing Zachary peacefully asleep, I didn't want to wake him up.
Just as I was about to carry him inside, Steven was already standing by the passenger door. His voice was soft as he said, "I'll do it."
Then, he effortlessly lifted Zachary with one hand while extending the other toward me.
